APPENDIX III PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT The following is the text of a letter, summary of values and valuation certificates prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this document received from AVISTA Valuation Advisory Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation of the property interests as at March 31, 2020. [•] 2020 The Board of Directors Canggang Railway Limited Yangzhuang Station Yangerzhuang Town Huanghua City Hebei Province the PRC Dear Sirs/Madams, INSTRUCTIONS In accordance with the instructions for us to value the property interests held by Canggang Railway Limited (滄港鐵路有限公司)(the‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the property interests as at March 31, 2020 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’). PREMISES OF VALUE The valuation is our opinion of market value which is defined by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors as ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion’’. BASIS OF VALUATION In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’), the HKIS Valuation Standards (2017 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published from time to time by the International Valuation Standards Council. Our valuations exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value or costs of sale and purchase or offset for any associated taxes.

APPENDIX III PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT CATEGORISATION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS In the course of our valuation, the appraised property interests have been categorized according firstly to type of interests held by the Company, which in turn being classified into the following groups: Group I – Property interests held and occupied by the Group in the PRC VALUATION METHODOLOGY In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have valued the properties in their designated uses with the understanding that the properties will be used as such (hereafter referred to as ‘‘continued uses’’). Due to the specific nature and uses of the buildings and structures of the property interests that were designated and constructed and the particular location in which they are situated, there are unlikely relevant market comparable sales readily available. The property interests have been valued on the basis of depreciated replacement cost. Depreciated replacement cost is defined as ‘‘the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of a property less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization’’. It is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of the improvements, less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. The depreciated replacement cost of the property interests is subject to adequate potential profitability of the concerned business. TITLE INVESTIGATION We have been provided by the Company with copy of extract of the title documents relating to the property interests. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment. Due to the current registration system of the PRC under which the registration information is not accessible to the public, no investigation has been made for the title of the property interests in the PRC and the material encumbrances that might be attached. In the course of our valuation, we have relied considerably on the legal opinion given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser – Commerce & Finance Law Office, concerning the validity of title of the properties in the PRC.

APPENDIX III PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT SITE INVESTIGATION We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the accessible portions of the interior of the property being appraised. The inspection was carried out by Mr. Gerrard Zhao (Analyst of AVISTA Valuation Advisory Limited), during the date August 5, 2019 to August 8, 2019. However, we have not been commissioned to carry out structural survey nor to arrange for an inspection of the services. We are, therefore, not able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. We formulate our view as to the overall conditions of the property taking into account the general appearance, the apparent standard and age of fixtures and fittings and the existence of utility services. Hence it must be stressed that we have had regard to you with a view as to whether the buildings are free from defects or as to the possibility of latent defects which might affect our valuation. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have assumed that utility services, such as electricity, telephone, water, etc., are available and free from defect. We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not high alumina cement concrete or calcium chloride additive or pulverized fly ash, or any other deleterious material has been used in the construction of the property. We are therefore unable to report that the property is free from risk in this respect. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that deleterious material has not been used in the construction of the property. We have not been commissioned to carry out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the land or building areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas provided to us are correct. Based on our experience of valuation of similar property, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable. Moreover, we have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the property interests. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the property or on adjoining or neighboring land or that the property had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value.

Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore approximations and for reference only. We have not searched original plans, developer brochures and the like to verify them. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS For the property which is held under long term land use rights, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests at nominal land use fees has been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully settled. Unless stated as otherwise, we have assumed that the respective title owner of the properties have an enforceable title of the property interests and have free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, sell, lease, charge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of the properties without the need of seeking further approval from and paying additional premium to the Government for the unexpired land use term as granted.
